I do believe those are wolf spiders — lovely too! Those look like Hogna genus to me but I could be mistaken and haven’t checked what species are found in your region.Are these wolf spiders?
The first three are of the same spider.
I live in Western NY and I get these in my house once in a while, especially in the fall.

Looking at various pictures it looks like you are dead on. I'll have to read more about these two types. Thank you!check out genus Tigrosa, which is what the first one is. the second one may be Hogna but could also be a Tigrosa.

I'm new to spiders ,but I have to disagree with you on the climbing part. They can't climb glass or acrylic tanks but i caught both of my Lycos ( g. gulosa, g. pulchra ) on the walls of my basement.Your rough guide to IDing Lycosids. Main pair is almost like a Salticid but the upper row outside pair is actually facing backwards about 15-30 degrees. Makes it impossible to sneak up on these folks.
Also, Lycos can't climb. Total clutz in the up department. If it's on a vertical surface it's not a Lyco.
I'll amend my comment. Given an ideal surface they can slowly and cautiously navigate walls. Hunt on them? Highly unlikely. Climbing any great distance has a very good chance of them falling off. Compare to sparassids.I'm new to spiders ,but I have to disagree with you on the climbing part.
